SURE, an 80's Cooney (geez o pete!)!!! How about a 1920 Cooney?? How about a prime early 80's Dempsey against Cooney at the same time?? And lastly...
'C'mon'...they were both past prime, especially Joe and Ali was clearly past it. Granted a great fight delivered from two over the hill greats...
First one that came to mind. To warriors, past prime, giving us a great fight but...Joe was semi-shot going in and Ali was already heading...
Ray "Windmill" White, a late sixties-early seventies LH/MW from the Pacific NW. Any 'oldsters' remember seeing him? He had some televised fights...

Absolutely, that says it all!! The perfect HW for RJJ to be 'pan fed'.
Shouldn't "the technician" Eddie Gregory be in there somewhere?
